[Verse 1: Adam WarRock]
Yeah and you can hear 'em in the street
You can hear the kicks pounding on the concrete
You hear it complete
The rhythm of the city's breath with the heartbeat
Pumping out the factories and sewer grates
Ain't it great?
You hear the movement as it builds steam
Fogging up your gla**es
And the orbit of the earth sweeps
Across the sun until the shade, it gives your soul peace
Solar eclipses the ellispes of wine and make it defeat
All the doubt in your mind
From what you've bound to find
Even further down the line
Why don't you stay and wound the time
I think we got it, ain't nothing better
Than just being a kid
Whether you're big or grown up just how it is
Live life like it's too short
Oakland down to Newport
Brooklyn to the Bay
Talking to fakes like new court[?]
Life is a drug I do snort
Shooting straight for the moon
For a piece of that cheese man
Please, that's how it be
[Bridge] X 4
f** you I won't do what you tell me
[Hook]
They try to tell us that we're up to no good
They try to tell us how to live in our neighborhood
But the kids do what kids should
And the kids do what kids should
Ain't it good?
Now it's spreading all across the land
And all I wanna do is make ya just clap your hands
I cover my ears when they try to say man
That the kids don't stand a chance
That ain't the plan
[Verse 2]
You can do whatever you wanna
Like your mama said
It's like all the books you read
Where the Wild Things Are
And you a shooting star
Don't let 'em trap you in a jar
With holes poked in the top
Think of all that you got
You got the future and it's comin'
Whether you like it or not
So might as well just add to the plot
You know it's true
With jet-packs on our backs
Hover-boards that i got
And I'm floating down the river
Trying me best to deliver
Every shimmer from the epicenter
Where leaves withered in the winter
Cause the sun it gives us a little glimmer
Of the life that we chose
Thinking that we made it from December
To December 'til the calendar froze
I don't remember
What year it is or how many tree rings there is
Inside of every thing
That makes me who i is
And I am
(*imitating scratching*)
Somebody
Don't let them tell you who you are
Cause nobody
Can determine who you are
No amount of money
No job can define who you'll be
And I'm running on this plateau
Until I hit the summer
I'm coming
'til my face is burnt and peeling from the skin
So sunny
And I'm telling ya man
Cause I'm running with the plan
And I hope y'all understand
That I'm gonna do my thing
I'ma dance how I wanna dance
I be damning[?] from damn[?]
Cause the kids don't stand a chance
Yeah this one goes out to all those
Grown up kids out there
Keep doing your thing right
Unh Adam WarRock
Yeah Vince Vandal
Heh
The kids don't stand a chance yeah
